The authorities of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, will on Wednesday October 10, 2018, confer a Post Humous Lifetime Achievement Award on the late human rights activist and patriot, Bamidele Aturu.
This is contained in a letter to Mrs Adebimpe Aturu, dated September 24, 2018, from Professor Olukoya Ogen, the Rector of the College,according to the human rights lawyer,Ebun-olu Adegboruwa.
Aturu is being honoured in recognition of “his contributions to the development of the College in particular and the society at large.”
Aturu obtained a first class degree in Physics from the Adeyemi College of Education, before proceeding to study law as a second degree, at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
“I commend the authorities of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, for this great and deserving gesture and recognition, especially at a time when academic awards have been monetized as some form of ransom for financial and political patronage,” said Adegboruwa in a statement on Wednesday. “Surely, Bamidele Aturu lives in our minds, forever.”
